Telling+Time

=Ideas for teaching Telling Time:=


 * 1.** **Create a clock:** Give students a template of a blank analog clock with two clock hands. Use a paper fastener to attach clock hands to clock face and allow them to be movable. A time is called out. Students move the hands on their clocks to indicate the time given and show their times to the class.


 * 2. Travel schedules:** Students use train, airline, bus, subway schedules from the target culture to practice time expressions.


 * 3. Planner check:** Students create a "day planner" page for a particular day with times and activities/appointments. They then share them in pairs or small groups.


 * 4. Clock flash cards:** Sets of flash cards with clocks are often available at discount and teacher stores. Students choose cards from the pile and give the time in the target language.


 * 5. Blank clock page:** Students are given a page full of blank clock faces. A time is given and the students draw the hands onto the clock or write the numbers onto the digital clock face.
